I was following the instruction in this link [URL] and while trying to stop the current version by
sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils stop
as it mentioned in the previous link , but it's not working i always get command not found.
Hardy Heron includes ALSA 1.0.15 but I need at least 1.0.16 to make VMWare player happy with it. I couldn't find the packages in backports, but maybe I missed it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI didn't (maybe still don't) have ALSA loopback so I could record streaming, so I upgraded ALSA following these instructions:[URL].. The only part I didn't follow verbatim was the final step:
Quote: Allrighty, time to load it. But before that, shut down all audio apps (including firefox). Once done, do this:
Code:
sudo alsa force-unload
sudo modprobe snd-whatever-module-you-need
sudo modprobe snd-aloop
I was unsure about "snd-whatever-module-you-need" so I decided to reboot.
When KDE was just about to kick in, I saw a lot of new text I had never seen before scroll past very, very fast. Then it stopped and I could see it had something to with ALSA, but I couldn't really read anything. KDE started and... now I have no sound. I checked kmixer, it looks normal. It doesn't seem to be mute. I ran alsamixer in the command line, it doesn't seem to be mute either. I ran Kcontrol and checked the audio section, couldn't figure anything out. Here is the output of lsmod BEFORE the upgrade:

I had an issue with my mic so I decided to upgrade alsa to 1.0.23 to see if this will fix the problem. I used alsa driver/utils/lib 1.0.23 from alsa-project.org So it fixed it...but now I don't have sound in Flash (youtybe videos, etc.). System sound works perfectly (ev en Skype is working) I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 64bit and Google Chrome browser. flash -> flashplugin-nonfree

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have recently been forced to do a hardware upgrade (my previous mobo died). Now, sounds works ok with,amarok because kde has recognized the new hardware and switched to it.
..... does not work, likely because flash uses alsa-oss which is probably not configured automatically. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both alsa-oss and flash, but it didn't solve the problem.
Anyone know the best way to install ALSA 1.0.23 to Fedora 13? Are there packages anywhere or does it have to be installed from source?

I've had the 10.04 installed on a notebook for about a week now and I want to upgrade to the LTS that was released today. When I go to check updates it shows me that everything is already updated. How can this be? Is there another way to upgrade from RC to LTS that I don't know about?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am upgrading to Ubuntu 10.10 Alpha 1. This is on my gaming machine so I can test it and if it screws my system up, I can reinstall. I have not seen any issues so far. I think there might be a thread already open for talking about 10.10 but I am creating this thread anyways.
The upgrade is going faster than when i first did the upgrade earlier this month.I am testing Ubuntu 10.10 on a computer with a 1.6Ghz AMD 64 processor.It has 3 GB ram and a 500GB hard drive. 128 MB video ram.
Note: This is The emachines EL 1200-06w I am using a Belkin wireless card which is only able to be used with the help of Windows Wireless Drivers (ndiswrapper).
I plan to report bugs in launchpad. Last time, Ubuntu could not start after an update. Now, I am risking down time by using the Alpha version again. I am installing by going to: Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal In Terminal, I enter in
Code:
sudo update-manager -d and then it asks for a password to open update manager. Then it shows the upgrade is available. I am still at the process of upgrading the computer. I am running Ubunut 10.04 32 bit at the moment.
UPDATE: I didn't need ndiswrapper, and I am able to now use Natty, where it works as it should.
Recently I wanted to install Ubuntu 10.04 from a CD which I had sent to me, but which I never actually used. So I put the CD in my laptop, used Wubi to install Lucid Lynx next to Windows in dual-boot, and restarted the laptop. Everything was OK. I noticed that the Update Manager didn't come up yet. I glanced at the notification area, and I wasn't connected to the Internet. So I entered wireless connection password and so Internet was back.I then opened Update Manager, changed release options to "Normal Releases" and was told of upgrade to Ubuntu 10.10. So I pressed the button, successfully updated and restarted. BUT, when Ubuntu tried to reboot, it gave a whole list of errors, and proceeded to shut down. Right now I'm manually downloading 10.10 64-bit, and Wubi. And I uninstalled previous installation. If this works, then great. But I still want to know, just out of interest, why the hell did it do that? Is there issues with the upgrade? Was there errors in my Ubuntu installation?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have perfectly working Ubuntu 10.04 on my Dell Vostro 1500 laptop. But, yesterday I upgraded it to Ubuntu 10.10. There were various error messages during upgrade process, but it showed that I can continue without certain package. But, after restarting the laptop, I didn't found the new kernel entry in the GRUB. So, I continued with booting using older kernel version. It showed that ubuntu is booting but after sometime screen went totally blank. I even tried to boot into recovery mode, but faced same problem.
Then I booted with live CD, and chroot to the root folder of ubuntu on my HDD. After running command "dpkg --configure -a" I got error messages which are stored in attached file error-msg.txt.I cannot format the linux partition for a clean install. Please suggest solution for either recovery of 10.10 or restoration of 10.04.
I currently have Ubuntu 9.04 Installed and everything works perfectly. Its no longer allowing me to do the automatic updates saying my distribution version isnt supported anymore, and want to upgrade to 10.10.
When version 9.10 came out I upgraded through the Update Manager, and it screwed up the install and nothing worked. I ended up deleting everything and started from scratch. I dont want to go through that again.
I was wondering the easiest way to upgrade to version 10.10, because even the Update Manager only gives me the option to upgrade to version 9.10
I have an acer emachines netbook and I am looking to upgrade from 9.10.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have what it may seem to most of you a nooby question but it is the first time for me that a new version of Ubuntu comes out, so I want to know if I will have to do a new "clean" installation of 11.04 when it's released or will it be some sort of upgrade from software center. If I have to do a new installation is there a way to reinstall all the programs I have all at once or maybe take a backup of them or will I have to install them all one by one?

I have w7 and ubuntu on a dual boot arrange. I need them both and I need ubuntu to see my files in c:.
Life was fine before the upgrade, but now I just can't see my c: drive.
Is it possible to accomplish this? Or do I have to install each subsequent version until I reach 11.1? When I run the update manager it never informs me of a new release.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI wanted to use Ubuntu on one of my old laptops (a great, speedy modern OS on a modest hardware PC). Unfortunately this PC can not at the time read all CD-ROM's (can't figure out why it does read some) and I've installed Ubuntu 7.10 - the only CD it did read at the time.
I've used it for two years but I never got my wireless card to work (OK, most of the time it was collecting dust) A couple of days ago I finally realized how to use ndiswrapper (lol...) and I was able to get a working Wi-Fi connection on this laptop. I then proceeded to upgrade it over the internet, to Ubuntu 8.04, then 8.10, then 9.04 and, last night, to 9.10.It has worked through each and every of these updates, but after 9.10 the PC won't even boot (after "GRUB loading...).
I'll probably be taking my netbook up to Lucid here in a few days. My question is if I should bother with the Netbook Edition or just get the standard edition? Are there any packages in the netbook edition that can help with processing, power, etc on a netbook? More importantly, can the special netbook desktop be turned off in favor of the standard UI?
